Harvesting! Or not!

While Mom was 'out of town' I agreed to keep an eye on her place. One of the things that I 'felt' the need to do, was harvest her garden. [she has a REAL garden] So, I took the ONE tomatoe, a couple of cucumbers, and a TON of zucchini. I was happy with myself because, 'gee, I was helping mom out.' So yesterday she sends Monica out to 'harvest!' I saw what she harvested this morning. I guess I missed something. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd never believed that cucumber could get so big. I'm thinking dumptruck just to get rid of it. Don't think mom didn't kid me about what a poor harvester I was. Next time I swear, they'll be NOTHING they can harvest for at least a WEEK after they get back. by the by, her zucchini is fab!!! I've been eating it like it was cucumber. I'll have to actually COOK some before it's gone

Kids, I think it is so cute about Brynna's castle. Be prepared, when you DO take her to see it, she'll want to go inside! I'm sure that will be an experience you'll remember! Love and miss you!

I know -- I think when we do go I will take her into the foyer so she can see it. I think that will sustain her for a while.

good thinking. I always hated it when my kids 'hit' me with something I wasn't expecting:]
